I was really happy when Heavensward gave us Alex normal so I could experience the story without doing the real raid.

From my perspective XIV would be better off if the developers focused on fixing Diadem to be more fun and relevant and adding more forms of endgame progression other than raiding. Raids themselves shouldn't be removed or anything since there are people that enjoy that level of challenge but I think adding variety to the endgame is more important than incentivizing raiding.
I know this might be hard to believe, but Diadem is end game content and works the way you say it. People will get bored of that faster than raiding. Also while some may not enjoy raiding, there are lots of other players who do. In games in general, there will always be a small group of players willing to take the hardest content in. This is no different from MMO's.
